Last night, Kirby Row was the scene of several grisly murders. All of the victims were part of rival gangs. URGENT, Megapolis' Super-Police believe that the culprit is the rogue vigilante called Vengeance. His movements are mysterious, his motive unknown, and his methods are savage. He is known for brutal crippling attacks on gangsters and dealers in the past in the slum called "Destitution Drive". But has he crossed the line to homicide?

Vengeance is a hard man to find... Locals see him as a protector, criminals fear him. Can the Heroes find him... or will Vengeance find them?

These Guerillas ARE Gorillas! When the mind of a communist revolutionary is placed in the body of a telepathic cybernetically enhanced ape, anything can happen. And when the self-appointed "Premier of the Primate Proletariat" takes over an urban zoo's primate habitat, we've got a hostage situation on our hands!

But the pressure is greater still, because the chief of the power-armored police is a bit of a loose cannon, and he's only giving the local super team a short window of time to rescue the hostages before he and his men go in guns blazing!

Do you have what it takes to stop the GorillaVolution and make sure nobody gets hurt in the crossfire? This ought to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Believe me, they're viscious....

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
